Love Knows No Age.

I got into Austin's car and waited patiently for him to say goodbye to my dad. I looked up to see him coming out of the house with a smiled on my face. God was his smiled beautiful, and his eyes. His eyes could be the death of me someday.

"May? Did you hear what I said?" Austin said waving his hands in front of my face. I laughed

"What, sorry no I was thinking" I said honestly

"I asked why you come over to my house like all the time, not that I don't enjoy having you because I do. But I don't know your dad thinks you don't wanna be with him" I frowned. I never thought of how my dad felt.

"I like being home with him really, I do but I don't know Austin I like being with you, your the only one who doesn't treat me like a child. And ever since mom passed away you were always there for me when I needed that shoulder to cry on" He was smiling.

"May, you know I would do anything with you and I can tell that something is bothering you, do you want to talk about it?" I looked at my hands and then back at him. I didn't want to talk about it but I needed to get it off my chest.

"I don't have the heart to tell dad that I don't have any friends at school and that I get bullied" His smiled faded and he put his hand on my knee. I couldn't help but blush so I hid my face.

"I thought you had Jen?" He asked and I shook my head

"No, Jen moved to NYC last year and she hasn't talked to me since a week before she moved. Everything is a mess" I stated

"I don't know May. Everything will work out. Can I ask you something?" I nodded and he continued

"Who was that song about?" Here we go again

"It doesn't matter, its someone who doesn't like me back" I said looking out the window . The car stopped and I ran into the house. Austin followed and a I sat on the couch.

"May, Your feelings matter and this person will never know how you feel unless you tell them. You should tell them before its too late" I nodded

"Yeah I guess" I said

"So, tell me about this boy" I giggled feeling awkward telling him that about himself.

"Well, He is tall and thin, he loves music just as much as me. He has been through some shit in the past but he is making the best out of life. He is a little older. He has brown hair and beautiful eyes. I can't get over how much his smile is contagious. I think I really like this boy but he doesn't feel the same and it kills me inside to know that" I let a tear fall

"You really like this boy don't you?" He giggled

"Yeah how'd you guess?" I asked while Austin wiped the stray tear.

"The way you talk about him. So much passion and so much I don't know what the word is and all I can think of is Love" I smiled

"Well you really hit the nail on the head" I said

Austin and I sat and watched some movies for a while before I broke the silence.

"So, what about you? do you like anyone?" I asked and he laughed

"I guess you could say I am waiting for things to fall into place for me" I smiled

"I guess that's good" He nodded

"Hey, and you'll be 18 in a month and already graduated" He smiled


"Oh yeah I can't fucking wait to get the hell out of that school. I wanna be on my own" I laughed

"You said earlier that you were a private person, what do you mean?" He asked the biggest question in the world. I don't know why I was so private but it had to do with liking him. I felt that if I wasn't private than everyone would know about my crush on Austin. I looked up at Austin who was still waiting for an answer.

"Well, I like to keep things to myself and I don't like when people are in my business it makes me feel weird" I giggled

"But you let me into your world all the time and you don't seem very private then"

"But like I said you are the only one who doesn't treat me like a child and minimize my feelings" I said and he smiled

"That's because you aren't a child you will be 18 soon and you will be able to make your own decisions and do what you want" I smiled.

"But we weren't talking about being able to make my own decisions" I said

"Well you said that this boy that you liked was a bit older and I am saying that once you turn 18 its not going to matter because it wouldn't be a problem because you are an adult"

"True but it would still matter. That is something that will remain private" I giggled

"What is?" He asked

"The reason why it will still matter whether I decide to go for this boy or not" He nodded

"Well, its your life and no one can tell you how to live it" I nodded

"That's true, I am going to get some sleep I will see you in the morning" I said getting up. Ausitn got up and hugged me.

"I love you, sleep well" I smiled and breathed in his scent.

"I love you too" I said before going into the bedroom next to Austin's
